We find that a positive current account effect of a permanent terms of trade deterioration is very likely. As to the effects of a (short-lived) temporary worsening of the trade, the current account effect depends crucially on what is implied by the worsening; specifically: does it involve a change in the price of foreign assets relative to the price of domestic goods?
